This has little to do with path searching, but I have a set of patches that make it go a lot further than it did. Still, it's very much hardwired into the system that it can get at the core Lisp auto-autoloads. Questions for Steve: - Is being able to run a naked executable a priority? - What's the rationale of auto-autoloads not being dumped? -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
